THE METHOD OF EMERSON. HORATIO W. DRESSER. [Concluded from June Un ity.J PE A R E now prepared to understand what Emerson meant by saying that “ our moods do not agree with each other.” It is not because of any conflict in the great totality of things, nor is it because all moods' are ultimately one, and man must' becomf; G6d iti order to possess that one. It is the -multiplicity ot experiences, the pluralism in Emerson’, -rather-than’ the mysticism, which is the clue to h;S". Tfcojrghl-.' There is no mood large enough to b.athrbhlzfe hll, no reason that can be assigned which shall be adequate. All these fragments are of worth in them­ selves; it would mar both their truth and their beauty to crowd them into any one formula. Therefore Emerson confessed his inability to give the reasons for his failh. Once when an interested auditor besought him at the close of a lecture to explain what he meant by a certain sentence, he could only say, “ I may have known when I wrote it, but I can­ not tell now.” To the end he continued to write what he called “ anecdotes of the intellect,” unable to supply a principle of unification. “ The great gifts are not got by analysis,” he insisted. “ We do what we must and call it by the best names we can.” In one of his latest and most profound essays1 he says, “ I think that philosophy is still rude and elementary. It will one day be taught by poets. The poet is in the natural attitude — he is believing; the philosopher, after some struggle, having only reasons for believing. 1 Natural History of Intellect. Digitized by G.ooole 4 UNITY. At first glance, this seems to be a negative con­ fession, this dictum that our moods do not agree. It will be said that Emerson ought to have sought the reasons for this faith: he should have aimed at rational consistency. But if he had pursued this method, would he have been Emerson? Is the lack of consistency on his part due to inability to reason or to discover reasons, or was his vision into the reality of things so true and searching that he saw the impossibility of rationalizing his varied insights? He warns us that “ consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,” and is a standard with which “ a great soul has simply nothing to do.” Yet, who was ever -more, consistent than Emerson in clinging to the ■’je;yelkiions\ of .’i&e- Spirit, even when the notes he made of,.tfrdse'revelations, the hints he gave, failed to cpifibiae ipttf-any of the conventional formulas of fljenf. ...a : It ■ .'wajs.; not .because of any lack of insight, but rather because his insight was more penetrating that Emerson could write, “ This knot of nature is so well tied that nobody was ever cunning enough to find the two ends. ” But the following quotation from the lecture on Plato2 shows a yet greater depth of insight into the truth that is past finding out: “ These things we are forced to say, if we must consider the effort of Plato, or of any philosopher, to dispose of Nature, which will not be disposed of. No power of genius has ever yet had the smallest success in explaining existence. The perfect enigma remains.” Again in his philosophical lectures at Harvard in 1870,3 Emerson makes his thought still more explicit. “ I cannot myself use that systematic form which is reckoned essential in treating the science of the mind. But if one can say so without arrogance, I might suggest that he who contents himself with dotting a fragmentary curve, recording only what facts he has observed, without attempting to arrange them within one outline, follows a system also — a 2 Representative Men. 3 Natural History of Intellect. Digitized by L i o o g l e THE METHOD OF EMERSON. 5 system as grand as any other, though he does not interfere with its vast curves by prematurely forcing them into a circle or ellipse, but only draws that arc which he clearly sees, and waits fora new opportunity, well assured that these observed arcs will consist with each other.” . Scattered here and there through the essays, there are many paragraphs which show that Emerson very keenly appreciated what an ultimate philosophy must be, though he could not himself carry out the sug­ gestion. “ Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is, that it will explain all phenomena. ”* It will also account for evil, for Emerson by no means ignores the darker side of life. He assures us that “ no picture of life can have any veracity that does not admit the odious facts.” Yet, “ a man is a man only as he makes life and nature happier to us.”5 “ W e must be at the top of our con­ dition to understand anything rightly.”6 “ It is true that there is evil and good, night and day; but these are not equal. The day is great and final. The night is for the day, but the day is not for the night.” 5 In reality everything is made of one hidden stuff; all things are moral.

  • A History of the New Thought Movement
    RY OF THE r-lT MOVEMEN1 DRESSER I Presented to the LIBRARY of the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO by Victoria College A HISTORY OF THE NEW THOUGHT MOVEMENT BY HORATIO W. DRESSER AUTHOR OF "THE POWER OF SILENCE," * 'HANDBOOK OF THE NEW THOUGHT," "THE SPIRIT OF THE NEW THOUGHT," ETC. NEW YORK THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PUBLISHERS JUL COPYRIGHT, 1919. BY THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PREFACE FOR several years there has been a demand for a history of the liberal wing of the mental-healing movement known as the "New Thought." This demand is partly due to the fact that the move- ment is now well organized, with international headquarters in Washington, D. C., hence there is a desire to bring its leading principles together and see in their in to inter- them unity ; and part est in the pioneers out of whose practice the present methods and teachings have grown. The latter interest is particularly promising since the pioneers still have a message for us. Then, too, we are more interested in these days in trac- ing the connection between the ideas which con- cern us most and the new age out of which they have sprung. We realize more and more clearly that this is indeed a new age. Hence we are in- creasingly eager to interpret the tendencies of thought which express the age at its best. In order to meet this desire for a history of the New Thought, Mr. James A. Edgerton, president of the International New Thought Alliance, decided in 1916 to undertake the work.

Cannon J. Spencer Fluhman Eric A. Eliason Department of History Brigham Young University December 2009 Copyright © 2009 Stanley J. Thayne All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Home of Truth: The Metaphysical World of Marie Ogden Stanley J. Thayne Department of History Master of Arts Marie Ogden‘s Home of Truth colony—a religious community that was located in southern Utah during the 1930s and 40s—was part of a segment of the American religious landscape that has largely been overlooked. As such, her movement points to a significant gap in the historiography of American religion. In addition to documenting the history of this obscure community, I situate Marie Ogden as part of what I call the early new age of American religion, an underdeveloped part of the broader categories of metaphysical religion or Western esotericism.

  • Both Riches and Honor (Formerly "Prosperity")
    Both Riches and Honor (formerly "Prosperity") By Annie Rix Militz. first published in 1945 A Unity Public Domain Book "Knowledge should be told, not sold" Charles Fillmore For a time, Annie went out to Missouri and worked with Charles Fillmore developing the Unity Branch of New Thought, but eventually she returned to California expanding the Home of Truth. The main Home of Truth still exists today. Global New Thought is working actively with Home of Truth to place all of Militz' texts online to facilitate online studies of this rich and wonderful New Thought denomination. This book was one of her many contributions to the Unity Movement. Prosperity through Spirituality CHAPTER I Both riches and honor come of you, and you rule over all; and in your hand is power and might; and in your hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. IT IS NOW ESTABLISHED in the minds of many people that health of body is a legitimate result of spiritual knowledge and eventually will be one of the signs of a practical follower of Christ; but these same people, many of them, find it difficult to believe that health of circumstances can be demonstrated in the same way and is as legitimate and true a sign of the understanding of spiritual law as the healing of the body. Considering riches with a fair, unprejudiced mind, we shall understand why it is that they have been largely in the possession of the unspiritual instead of the children of God, to whom the heritage rightly belongs.

    A History of the New Thought Movement by Horatio W. Dresser Published by Thomas Y. Crowell Co., New York 1919 This ebook (c) MK Cultra 2006 mkcultra.com Chapter 1 - THE NEW AGE THE great war came as a vivid reminder that we live in a new age. We began to look back not only to explain the war and find a way to bring it to an end, but to see what tendencies were in process to lead us far beyond it. There were new issues to be met and we needed the new enlightenment to meet them. The war was only one of various signs of a new dispensation. It came not so much to prepare the way as to call attention to truths which we already possessed. The new age had been in process for some time. Different ones of us were trying to show in what way it was a new dispensation, what principles were most needed. What the war accomplished for us was to give us a new contrast. As a result we now see clearly that some of the tendencies of the nineteenth century which were most warmly praised are not so promising as we supposed. We had come to regard the nineteenth century as the age of the special sciences. We looked to science for enlightenment. We enjoyed new inventions without number, such as the steam-engine, the electric telegraph, the telephone, and our life centered more and more about these. But the nation having most to do with preparation for the war was the one which made the greatest use of the special sciences.
